I hope I'm not repeating a thread I've missed, but has anyone experience with Jan Craig headcovers? I have an opportunity to receive three, one for each of my fairway woods. I like the retro look of the covers. Any opinions about them?

shortgame85,

They're great, expensive, but the quality is very high. What you get is completely up to you in terms of color and design. They're very durable and to clean them, once a season simply include them with the next batch of clothes you take to the dry cleaner. Highly reccomended.

Thank you both for your reply. They are expensive. I probably would not be spending my money on them but, as they are gifts, well, I think I will enjoy them. I do have nice manufacturer's covers on my fairway woods but, I do like the retro look of them. They were also used by several of our Ryder Cup players. I thought they looked cool, like all white golf shoes ( not that I would opt for the white belt, mind you ---- just not darring enough for that in this lifetime ).

I think that's the great thing about them, you can make them look as outrageous or tame as you want since you control the colors. The eight inch pom is a little much for me, I opted for the smaller five inch for my two clubs and I've got no regrets at all.

Black sleeve with black and gold tassels, I think mine look mighty sharp.

I've had them for years and years. Love 'em. Last a long time with any care. New yarns in the last few years have kept them from stretching out. Right now I have two sets... the smaller poms and the tassels. I seem to get the most comments on the tassels... they're really, really retro (sorry Slider). Very nice people to deal with... but they take a good long time to get. Get 'em and enjoy them!

Gas_Can: Your headcovers must look great. I ordered Forest Green with Yellow Stripes ( 3 for the 3 wood, 5 for the 5 wood, none for the 7 wood ), each with a 5" pom that has forest green, yellow and navy flecks. I hope they look as good as yours sound. An interesting side note: the lady from whom I ordered them told me the covers are handmade by mostly elderly women of Polish descent, many of whom live in and around the Chicago area. Jan Craig is no longer alive, and the company is owned by her son and daughter-in-law. The lady with whom I spoke couldn't have been more accomodating

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
